This is where I mounted my rocker switches. It works quite well. I installed a 0 ga. line from the battery to a power distribution block which I mounted under the dash behind and under the climate control cluster. I used relay switches on each line and every power wire has a fuse.

The reason I used such a large wire is that It will also be the feed line for my HAM/CB and my GPS system as well as the lighting. I didn't want to run 20 wires from the battery through the firewall to power all the accessories that are in my build plan.

As it is wired now the top switch is for the center long range lights, the second is for the outer flood lights. The bottom 2 are unused right now.

When I get my basket and the rest of my lights the 1st switch will be for overhead and bumper lights, 2nd will be left side, 3rd will be right side, 4th will be for back up lights.

I also plan on putting a master switch next to the headlight switch for the entire circut, but all in good time. While I had the interior torn apart I also ran a 2nd 0 ga feed line going from the battery back to the hatch for future modifications.
